I stayed at Centraal Hostel with five other friends in a 6 man private room. After reading a lot of reviews before booking we were all apprehensive as to what too expect, but due to the price, 12 euros a night per head, we decided to book it anyway.
Upon arrival in Amsterdam it was very easy to get to,...

I stayed at Hostel Centraal with three more friends in a 8 guest room (room number 1). I have to admit that I thought the location was going to be a little bit more central (around 20 minutes walking to the center or you can catch the trams which are 5 minutes away). The bed was clean (which for me...

I was put in room 8 all the way at the top is was small and overpriced for 1 bed out of 8 with shared bathroom.. if its your first time in Amsterdam ask about the tram round the corner WiFi was good ,clean beds ,friendly owners, for a hostel its a rip off! but that's just me

First impression was not the best. Simple, old fashioned but confortable beds and linen.
Hostel located next to the Central Train Station. About 15 minutes walk from the city center.
Recommended for budget travellers and for those who do not mind to have a good walk to be in the city center.

Beds were clean and comfortable. Dorm room was quiet small but fortunately we had it to ourselves (three of us). I imagine It would be very cramped if all beds were taken. Good lockers for 1 euro/day inside the room. Good wi-fi and not a bad location, short walk/tram from the centre and train station. Bathroom facilities were less than...

The hostel is expensive... If it was good at lease, ok... but no... for the price it is we could say it is horrible... We arrived in the middle of the night, were very badly received, nothing cordial and impolite was the reception, two of our friends had arrived previously and had arranged to pay in the morning the following...

I was travelling alone and this hostel was at a great location. The stairs were terrible, though the guy at the reception helps carrying luggage. The staff was not rude at all. There is no common place but you can still meet people in your room. There is a bike rental place right beside the hostel, which was helpful. It...

Before the trip I thought " it's not gonna be that bad, you will only sleep there " false! It was the worst place I have ever been. After taking one bath, the room was like a pool and it was dirty. The staff was ok to us but I could see some other guys being in trouble with them....

Small, dirt, stink. Impossible to climb stairs. It has relatively low costs, we only used the room for sleeping and washing, anything else is impossibile to do in here. I dont recommend at all to pay for this.

The very first thing to notice is the rude staff, I can't even say staff since there was only one guy not sympathetic at all who never was at the reception. We waited so long to do the check out and we almost lost the train.
But the worse was the bathroom, so dirty and smelly, there was a flood...
